The actor and director apparently had a fallout after the debacle of their last collaboration, but looks like everything is fine between the two. Read on…

Arjun Kapoor’s last film Tevar, which was directed by Amit Sharma didn’t managed to get the cash registers ringing at the box office, but that hasn’t stopped Arjun from collaborating with Amit yet again.

Yes, Arjun and Amit are joining hands for the latter’s next film that will go on floor in August. If you will remember, right after the Tevar debacle, there was buzz about Amit and Arjun’s relation going sour. In fact, reports of producer, Boney Kapoor, not being entirely satisfied with Amit’s work did rounds during the making of Tevar. It is said that the producer wanted a different climax for the film but the director was set on the climax he had planned. Now the outcome of his work was for all to see…

However the director firmly denied it and maintained that the actor will always remain his close friend, which is why he has finalised the 2 States actor for one of the two scripts he is busy writing.

We have also learnt that Amit wishes to cast Sonakshi Sinha in his film again, he hasn’t divulged any details of the rest of the cast or the film.

However, an official announcement will be made really soon and I’m quite looking forwards to it.

The ad film maker who made his directorial debut with Tevar failed to create a stir at the Box office…

Many of the great actor-director friendships in our industry are cemented on the basis of that duo’s commercial success at the Box office. Arjun Kapoor and Amit Sharma’s association couldn’t bloom into one such friendship due to the abysmal performance by their film, Tevar, at the Box office.

Though the two had decided to make another film even before Tevar released in theatres, we hear that they have decided to shelve the idea. It was supposed to be a dacoit drama titled Daaku Sultan, but Tevar‘s failure has flung this script in the bin.

Reports of producer, Boney Kapoor, not being entirely satisfied with Amit Sharma’s work did rounds during the making of Tevar. It is said that the producer wanted a different climax for the film but the director was set on the climax he had planned. Now the outcome of his work is for all to see…

When contacted, Amit refused to speak about the episode or his second film but Boney Kapoor said that he will make a film with Arjun and Amit again! He said, “He’s (Amit Sharma) a man who knows his job. Not all films do well. And my association and relationship with people doesn’t depend on the Box-office collection of a film. I will make a film with Amit again featuring Arjun Kapoor. We are yet to develop the script so I can’t reveal any details.”

Well lets just hope that whenever this second film comes out it doesn’t have the same fate as Tevar’s!

A lot has been written about Arjun and Sona’s off screen chemistry and how the two are apparently in a relationship. While they make a cute couple in real life, have they packed a solid punch together onscreen with their film Tevar? Read the full review of Tevar and find out yourself.

What’s it about

Arjun Kapoor (Pintu Shukla) is a Kabbadi champion who hails from Agra and believes he is no less than Rambo, Terminator and of course Salman Khan. Whenever a girl or a woman is being harassed, Pintu enters the picture like a knight in shining armour and rescues the damsel-in-distress. That’s how Sonakshi Sinha (Radhika) meets Arjun. Manoj Bajpayee (Gajendra Singh) is a corrupt politician who is head-over-heels in love with Radhika the moment he lays eyes on her. This one-sided love story starts while the Radhika shows off her moves on Radha Nachegi song at a cultural event. The very next day Gajendra Singh ends up proposing Radhika and asks her to marry him. But the latter refuses and that’s when the story takes off. Pintu comes to Radhika’s rescue and the two are on the run thereafter. Do Pintu and Radhika manage to escape from Gajendra Singh and his army of goons? Or does the Kabbadi champion lose his life while saving his ladylove? Well, watch the film to find to out but we are pretty sure it’s not rocket scienece to figure out the rest of the story!

What’s hot

It certainly has to be Arjun Kapoor and his dumdaar performance. We have seen Boney Kapoor’s ladla beta doing action on the big screen before as well but this time he reminded me of his mentor Salman Khan. He is a one man army who can take as many as 10 goons at a time. And what’s commendable is that he makes it look believable. Apart from all the dhishoom-dhishoom, Arjun is also good with his comic timing. Though the story of Tevar is predictable, the Kapoor lad makes the ride enjoyable with his act. After Tevar, I think it’s safe to say that AK can now carry a film solely on his shoulders. Sonakshi Sinha is back to playing the girl-next-door character in this flick and she is decent throughout. But Sona’s co-star clearly outshines her and therefore there is nothing much to boast about the leading lady of Tevar. Manoj Bajpayee and Raj Babbar also star in the film and they play their parts well. Personally, I think Bajpayee surely has mastered the art of playing dark characters. Yes, he has been playing villainous roles too often but he is just good at it. Music wise, Superman and Joganiya stand out. As for Radha Nachegi, well, it’s a good number but it won’t make you go WOW.

What’s not

As I said in my quick review, Sanjay Kapoor’s production venture has nothing new to offer as far as story is concerned. This film is like an old wine packaged in new bottle. A corrupt politician falls in love with a girl and will go to any extent to marry her. The girl falls for the guy who is doing everything he can to save her from the bad politician. It’s the same old tried and tested formula. Also, in the second half the makers could have done away with few things and made the film shorter. Lastly, Arjun and Sonakshi’s pairing is pleasant but I didn’t find their chemistry oh-so-sizzling. That could be because the two are always on the run. However, the makers could have explored their chemistry in a better way as they share amazing rapport off screen too and that would have translated on 70mm, hai na peeps?

Verdict:

Amit Sharma’s Tevar is the remake of Telugu blockbuster Okkadu. While the original got registers jingling down South, the Hindi version too isn’t bad at all. It’s a typical Bollywood masala film which has all the ingredients to entertain you - naach-gaana, romance, action and comedy! So if you’re planning to watch Tevar this weekend, it wouldn’t be a bad idea. And if you are a Arjun Kapoor fan then I think you shouldn’t miss this one at least for him!

Arjun Kapoor-Sonakshi Sinha starrer film will be the first big release this year…

Synopsis: Tevar is based on college days. Arjun is playing a regular college guy from Agra, who is a kabaddi champion. He is practicing kabaddi for playing national championships. Meanwhile, he meets Sonakshi Sinha, who is in a trouble. She is trying to get away from an unwanted marriage to Manoj Bajpayee. Arjun helps her and love blossoms between Sonakshi and him. While Arjun plays a Salman Khan fan in the film, Sonakshi plays a normal down-to-earth Agra girl. Will the two love birds be able to get away from the pangs of the cruel Manoj and live peacefully? We’ll have to wait and watch.

Why should you watch: The film is the first big release of this year. It brings together the alleged real life couple Sonakshi and Arjun together onscreen for the first time. The two have not signed any more films for 2015 and therefore, for their fans this might be the only chance to catch Sonakshi and Arjun onscreen this year. Manoj Bajpayee as the baddie has always done great and this time over the same is expected from him. Also this is Arjun’s first film with his father Boney Kapoor’s banner. It’ll be great to see how the venture turns out.

Here’s taking a look at the Finding Fanny actor’s year gone by

Ever since he made his debut in YRF’s Ishaqzaade, Arjun Kapoor has been lauded as the next best thing in Bollywood. Not only did Arjun wow everyone in Ishaqzaade, but achieved a flurry of success with his next two films Gunday and 2 States. However, Aurangzeb didn’t manage to create a stir.

While Ishaqzaade made on a humble budget went on to collect impressive numbers at the Box Office, his this year blockbusters Gunday and 2 States had the cash registers ringing. This makes Arjun Kapoor the youngest actor to be welcomed into the 100 crore club alongside Ranveer Singh.What makes this achievement even more impressive, is the fact that 2 States was a solo-hero film and the first-of-its-kind to see such unprecedented success. However, the next release Finding Fanny didn’t do that well at the box office, however being applauded by the critics.

A respected trade analyst states, “Arjun Kapoor is undoubtedly the leader of the pack when it comes to his generation of actors and the box office numbers are there to prove – Backed by 3 blockbusters, the rise of Arjun Kapoor has been phenomenal for someone who is just 2 years old in the industry. Arjun Kapoor has truly turned out to be a dark-horse at the box office”.

Arjun will be next seen in Sanjay Kapoor’s Tevar, one of the most anticipated films of 2015. If sources are to believed, distributors have been clamoring for Tevar after the phenomenal success of 2 States, which garnered the highest box office amount this far for a new-cast film.

Directed by renowned ad filmmaker Amit Sharma, Tevar will also star Sonakshi Sinha, an actress with major box office appeal. All eyes are on the film as producer Sanjay Kapoor is ecstatic with the developments on the commercial entertainer as it has blockbuster written all over it.

Says a source, “Tevar is one of the most anticipated films this year as it brings together Sonakshi Sinha, a lucky mascot at the box office and Arjun Kapoor who is turning out to be a box office Boy Wonder. The film will mark the directorial debut of Amit Sharma who also directed the Google ad film and is a talent to watch out for”.

Here’s the latest goss from the sets of the Sonakshi Sinha’s upcoming film…

The makers of Tevar have come up with the making video of the Superman song, which has gone viral. The song featuring Arjun Kapoor is the introduction song for his character in the film. Here in the video we can see everyone speaking about the difficulties they faced while shooting the song. Also many fun moments from the shoot were shared.

Director Amit Sharma tells how the song was okayed on the very first day of the shoot. When composers Sajid Wajid came up with this song which had some super uncanny lyrics written by Danish Sabri and Kausar Munir, Amit was super excited. When the song was narrated to Arjun Kapoor he came to know what the tone of the film and the sketch of his character is going to be. This song became the landmark which everyone kept trying to achieve.

Producer Sanjay Kapoor talks about all the difficulties that they faced during the shoot of the song. The song had varied camera angles and had to shot in the lanes and bylanes of Agra, which was a tough task. However, they cinematographer Laxman Utekar did a fantastic job and managed a superb feat. At the same time it was choreographer Remo D’Souza and his team who choreographed the steps and made Arjun’s character look larger than life.

So go ahead BollywoodLifers, have a look at the making of the Superman song and let us know your thoughts on the same.

Yes! That’s what the producer of Tevar told us when we met him recently…

Not too long, the first song Main toh Superman, Salman ka fan from Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Manoj Bajpayee starrer Tevar was released. In fact, the Kapoor lad himself unveiled the song on Salman Khan’s high voltage celebrity reality show Bigg Boss 8. And since then this catchy track has become rage. However, this number isn’t dedicated to Dabangg Khan or Superman. There is a reason why this song has been incorporated in the film which is directed by Amit Sharma and is slated to release on January 9, 2015.

Talking about the Superman song, actor-turned-producer Sanjay Kapoor says, “It just happened…it wasn’t planned. Actually, there is a sequence right before the song where the writer had written a line which is very close to the lyrics of this number. So keeping that in mind, it just fell through. Some people have asked me if it’s dedicated to Salman or something. But it’s nothing like that. It was a spontaneous thing, the rhyming was right and it fell through correctly. It’s not a dedication to Superman or Salman…(laughs)!

The doe eyed damsel has shaked a leg with Arjun Kapoor for the film

Goa-born designer sisters Riddhi and Siddhi Mapxencar have styled the look of actress Shruti Haasan for an item song in upcoming Hindi movie Tevar. Shruti, 28, would be seen in a maroon bustier and skirt in the number. Her costumes are specially custom made keeping in mind the requirement of the song, the designer duo told media.Riddhi and Siddhi, who have styled many Bollywood actresses including Katrina Kaif, Sonakshi Sinha and Ileana D’cruz, said the whole process of designing the Ramaiya Vastavaiya star was exciting as they had never designed any celebrity for an item number.

“The stylist of this item song, Tanya Ghavri, had decided a specific look for the number. With a lot of brainstorming and different ideas, we unanimously decided on a tattered skirt and halter blouse with lot of antique gold jewellery detail on it,” said the duo.

“We really enjoyed working on this project for Shruti Haasan and it’s always pleasure working with Tanya Ghavri,” they added.

An item song costume has so many different aspects to it. “Most importantly, it has to be comfortable to dance,” they added.

Tevar, scheduled to release on January 9 next year, is an action-romance film directed by Amit Sharma and written by Gunasekhar.

The film features Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi and Manoj Bajpai in lead roles and is a remake of director Gunasekhar’s 2003 Telugu film Okkadu, which starred Mahesh Babu and Bhoomika Chawla.

Yes, he did. Well, that’s what the latest grapevine suggests…

Sonakshi Sinha will share screen space with Arjun Kapoor for the very first time in Tevar. Directed by Amit Sharma, this film is being produced by Boney Kapoor and his brother Sanjay Kapoor. While we can’t wait to see how Sona and Arjun’s chemistry turns out on the big screen, we hear the Dabangg babe landed the film courtesy her co-star. Apparently, it was the 2 States actor who recommended Ms Sinha for Tevar. He felt the Lootera starlet was perfect for the film which is the remake of 2003 Telugu hit Okkadu. In fact, AK even convinced both his father and the director of the film to sign Sonakshi opposite him. Awww that’s sweet!

Well, not too long ago we caught hold of on the sets pictures of Tevar wherein Arjun and Shatrughan Sinha’s beti looked good together. So let’s hope this jodi manages to impress the audience as well when it hits the theaters on January 9, 2015!

The actor turned producer is said to be doing a bit from his popular song Akhiyan Milau

Producer Sanjay Kapoor who is currently filming his mass entertainer Tevar starring Arjun Kapoor, Sonakshi Sinha and Manoj Bajpai is shooting a special song titled Lets Celebrate for the film . If sources are to be believed, it looks like Sanjay is reprising the set of his super hit song from the movie Raja with his upcoming venture Tevar.

While unintentional the set of the song bears an uncanny resemblance with the set of Raja’s hit song Akhiyan Milau which also starred Madhuri Dixit. Those present on the set couldn’t help but notice many similarities between the sets, from vintage cars to neon lights, to car headlights and wheels suspended from the walls.

Said producer Sanjay Kapoor, “While it wasn’t intentional – When I walked in, I was transported back in time”. With a larger than life set and thousand flashlights, the makers of Tevar are making every effort to make Lets Celebrate sung by international rapper Imran Khan and choreographed by Remo , the party anthem of the year.
